June 13, 200619 yr My understanding is that you have to have a history of riding in Penn and pass an advanced class, then you're allowed to not ride with a helmet. I've heard that he didn't have the appropriate license, just an expired permit. If true, he shouldn't have been riding at all, but definitely not without a helmet.
June 14, 200619 yr Now here's a guy who wears a helmet so some hulking 300-pound defensive tackle doesn't ring his bell. But he chooses not to wear one when he's out among much heavier trucks and cars that can kill ya?
September 5, 200618 yr The Business Of Football The Tape On Tagliabue Kurt Badenhausen, Michael K. Ozanian and Maya Roney Paul Tagliabue has received much deserved praise for his accomplishments after announcing in March that he would step down after more than 16 years as commissioner of the National Football League. Tagliabue, 65, brought labor peace to the league in 1992 when he and union leader Gene Upshaw negotiated what was then thought to be a highly controversial labor agreement that brought free agency and the salary cap to football. But the agreement worked marvelously because it prevented a strike, showed the players that the owners valued them as partners and left enough incentives on the table for new owners to behave like entrepreneurs--witness the huge success of Daniel Snyder of the Washington Redskins and Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots. In a new collective bargaining agreement signed this March, Tagliabue convinced the owners to increase the amount of money they are going to share with the players and got the league's richer teams to agree to fork over close to $1 billion to their low-revenue rivals over the next six seasons. http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/30/06nfl_NFL-Team-Valuations_land.html (Current Value 1-Yr Value Debt/Value Revenue Operating ) ( ($mil) Change (%) (%) ($mil) Income ($mil)) 1 Washington Redskins 1,423 13 17 303 108.4 2 New England Patriots 1,176 13 26 250 43.6 3 Dallas Cowboys 1,173 10 17 235 37.1 4 Houston Texans 1,043 10 29 222 57.6 5 Philadelphia Eagles 1,024 8 32 218 54.2 6 Denver Broncos 975 7 21 207 26.9 7 Cleveland Browns 970 9 10 206 47.1 8 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 955 9 15 203 56.9 9 Baltimore Ravens 946 9 29 201 27.8 10 Chicago Bears 945 9 20 201 51.5 11 Carolina Panthers 936 7 13 199 20.7 12 Miami Dolphins 912 7 27 194 33.4 13 Green Bay Packers 911 7 5 194 22.3 14 Kansas City Chiefs 894 17 15 186 28.2 15 New York Giants 890 10 7 182 26.9 16 Seattle Seahawks 888 8 13 189 5.0 17 Tennessee Titans 886 6 14 189 48.3 18 Pittsburgh Steelers 880 7 11 187 25.5 19 New York Jets 876 18 11 179 33.1 20 St Louis Rams 841 11 5 179 33.2 21 Detroit Lions 839 8 42 178 16.1 22 Indianapolis Colts 837 17 18 167 25.0 23 Cincinnati Bengals 825 15 12 175 20.9 24 Arizona Cardinals 789 17 19 158 16.6 25 Buffalo Bills 756 7 9 176 31.2 26 Jacksonville Jaguars 744 8 17 173 22.5 27 New Orleans Saints 738 3 17 160 -4.1 28 Oakland Raiders 736 9 7 171 9.1 29 San Francisco 49ers 734 5 14 171 11.8 30 San Diego Chargers 731 8 14 170 24.8 31 Atlanta Falcons 730 6 37 170 6.6 32 Minnesota Vikings 720 9 44 167 16.3
September 5, 200618 yr Somewhere (was it this forum?) someone was arguing that owning a sports franchise was financially fool-hardy. Maybe buying a team today would be, but other than the Vikes, I'm pretty sure everyone else on that list has made a hefty sum if they would cash in their chips and sell their team now.

Maybe buying a team today would be, but other than the Vikes, I'm pretty sure everyone else on that list has made a hefty sum if they would cash in their chips and sell their team now. it was somewhere in the sports section. I made the point that with revenue sharing in the NFL, you have to be an idiot to not turn a profit.
September 27, 200618 yr Police say T.O. tried to kill himself 9/27/2006, 10:52 a.m. ET By JAIME ARON The Associated Press DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened, according to a police report obtained Wednesday. The report said Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, `Yes.'" http://www.cleveland.com/sportsflash/football/index.ssf?/base/sports-15/115936469655800.xml&storylist=football

January 28, 200718 yr I'm going with the AFC & the Colts. I would like to see Payton Manning get a super bowl ring.
January 28, 200718 yr Author I would love to see the city-abandoning Colts suffer eternally - they're the bastards that set events in motion to rob Cleveland of the Browns...but logically, ain't no way the Bears will pull it out. Well, "any given Sunday" and all that, of course, but you've gotta figure it's the Colts. Which is further evidence that there is no God.
January 28, 200718 yr I voted for the bears, but...............I'd like to see sexy Tony Dungy and P. Manning finally get rings, but I fear Peyton and the Colts will choooooke
January 28, 200718 yr Colts 31 Bears 27 - All though the Bears have a good defense so I'm not sure about the high score.

January 29, 200718 yr You know, originally, the Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts started out as the Dayton Triangles. So I'm going for the hometown team ;). "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
January 29, 200718 yr LOL, the Triangles? I'm going with the Colts... Grossman just can't be trusted.

January 29, 200718 yr I'm going with Da Bears....mainly because I would HATE to see the Colts win! I love the tragic stories (the former curse of the bambino....billygoat curse....Dan Marino never winning...Peyton Manning never winning)! It makes for good drama/storylines!

The triangles sounds like some 80s metro band, some 80s loser girl band or a very poor sounding minor league team. ;p /raises Anti-flame shield. Oh and back on topic. I hope the bears win it cause the Colts have been getting on my nerves.

You need to tell those two clackers to get it together and stop being so evasive we need to schedule meetings with you!
February 4, 200718 yr It is one cool deary rainy day down here. I feel bad for those poor saps that paid thousands to sit in the rain. :wink2:
February 5, 200718 yr The HOSPITAL?? Are you OK? No wonder why you haven't responded to any of my email/voicemail messages. Your office is covering for you. You need to tell those two clackers to get it together and stop being so evasive we need to schedule meetings with you! Better, despite being infected with some virus that I wouldn't even wish on ANYONE. Fainting a couple of times, that caused me to bruising a couple ribs. Then after going to the ER, and treated like total crap, being released with a explanation, "you only have the flu" and to rest, only to end up back in the same hospital with synthetic blend sheets, god awful food (luckily I only had to eat the food one day, since I was unconscious for two days) :-(, then being accused, rather told, I have no insurance coverage to pay, having $150 & my sneakers stolen, for it then to top it off theytell the guy I'm sort of seeing that he can't see me because he's not family...mind you he's the person that brought me to the hospital. I'm not contagious anymore so I've been cleared to fly. I'm leaving tomorrow, so that I can go to my doctor at the clinic. People you have no idea how bad health care is outside of Cleveland. We take for granted how good Cleveland clinic and university hospitals really is. Now about my assistants, they aren't "clackers" they did as I instructed. DP is the only person that needed to know what was up. I don't think I'll be back to New York until at least Thursday or Friday, but I'll have one of the "clackers" set up something. I've been here in LA since the 21 of Jan, I don't recall being here that long in the past and I realize just how fucked up this place is.
February 5, 200718 yr Hey I've been here in LA since the 21 of Jan, I don't recall being here that long in the past and I realize just how fucked up this place is. Hey now, no need to be a hater... it was beautiful today! Go COLTS, up at the half.
